Grey Welsh

Grey Welsh is a hardy and naturally-hued British hill breed fleece, prized for its rugged strength, timeless charm, and soft natural grey tone. This fleece is a dependable choice for fibre artists seeking durability with character — ideal for crafting resilient yarns and felted projects that withstand daily use.

Features

Fibre Diameter: Approximately 30–34 microns — medium-to-coarse texture with firm integrity
Staple Length: Around 8–12 cm (3–5 in), offering solid drafting control and structure
Texture: Springy and bouncy, yet surprisingly smooth to the touch
Colour: Natural mid-grey — gently variegated with depth and rustic appeal

Ideal For: Spinning sturdy, hard-wearing yarns; needle and wet felting robust pieces; weaving outerwear; and blending with softer fibres for contrast

Grey Welsh wool spins into strong, tactile yarns and robust felts with excellent stitch definition. Its hill-bred resilience makes it perfect for bags, hats, rugs, and durable outerwear. The natural grey tone provides a muted backdrop — ideal left undyed or enhanced with over-dyeing for deeper shades.
